[That's definitely the sound of Superbass, and Clover pauses in the hall, because Alice was driving last she checked and where else would Superbass be coming from? Constant paranoia makes for a...decent?? a sometimes-correct sense of actual danger??? And something is definitely off here, so Clover's reaching for the handle of her cleaver when she ever-so-quietly tiptoes to peer around the edge of the doorway into the kitchen and it's even worse than space rats it's Judar.
But for a few seconds she's stuck just sort of gaping at him from the doorway. She glances over her shoulder, finds nothing in or off about the hall, and looks back to Judar—that's definitely at least something Judar-shaped. Part of her stays unconvinced that she's not dreaming or worse; silly her, thinking she was over the illusion bullshit part of her adventures. Even that part, though, wants to hold out hope with the rest of her that this is for real.
Except it makes absolutely no sense for Judar to be here just like chillin on her spaceship with Superbass like it isn't even a thing and neither are any of the alarm systems and she isn't really sure how to start processing this so it does make sense? Is he even paying attention???]
What—
[okay, nope, steadying her voice and speaking up and trying again, still wide-eyed and baffled]
